Published: 28 December 2023
Revolving around nature and the community, Tengah has been garnering popularity with potential homeowners looking for a home in the West. In this article, we will take an in-depth fengshui review on Plantation Acres – one of the latest Tengah Build-To-Order (BTO) housing estates to obtain TOP (temporary occupation permit) recently.
Beyond lush greenery and accessibility to various facilities, let’s see how Plantation Acres fare in terms of residential fengshui. Read on!
Plantation Acres: Landform fengshui
Located in Tengah’s Plantation district along Plantation Crescent, Plantation Acres resides on the Western Dragon, belonging to the fengshui formation of “Land of the Flower Basket”. It is believed that long-time residents in this area possess good looks and great talents. They are also often equipped with capabilities and growing wealth.
In terms of development, those who are working in creative-related businesses and educational institutions will do well here. Families and singles looking to strive in their career, especially females, can also consider this area.
Also, it is good to take note of the nearby fengshui formation of a pair of “Golden Boy and Jade Girl”, located respectively at Jurong East and Jurong West. Romance luck abounds in Jurong and singles can look forward to finding their ideal partners. Nonetheless, caution is needed to avoid love tragedies. In particular, married people must practise faithfulness, or one will share the same fate as the golden boy and jade girl who remain separated.
External fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a new home.
Located near upcoming amenities such as a neighbourhood centre, a community club, and Jurong Region Line MRT station, Plantation Acres promises easy convenience for its residents in time to come.
The green spaces within the development is the namesake of Plantation Acres, which provides a tranquil environment that is conducive for living. Nevertheless, residents of this new BTO estate should also be mindful if your unit is close to trees and plants. While plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, it can introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies.
On the other hand, residents can expect noises and heavier traffic during peak hours, especially for the outer stacks that face the site reserved for a school. Units that are facing Plantation Crescent road are also likely to encounter noise pollution (Sound Sha) due to the proximity to the MRT tracks. To reduce noise disturbances at home, you may consider installing sound-proof windows or curtains and blinds.
Based on the site plan, several stacks at Plantation Acres face the multi-storey car park (MSCP) at Blk 112 directly. Lower floor units that face directly or are near to the car park may encounter disturbances to daily life such as insomnia, as constant vehicle movements indicate Sound Sha [声煞] and Light Sha [光煞]. If your unit faces the car park, please consider installing a window blind.
Like many BTO developments in Tengah, Plantation Acres is surrounded by many high-rise residential buildings, and this new estate is expected to develop rapidly within the next 20 years. Homeowners are advised to take note of future developments surrounding your home. High-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats, etc.
Internal fengshui considerations
Homeowners should bear in mind the main orientation of your house, as it will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s). The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Plantation Acres offers 1,193 units across 9 residential blocks of 2-room Flexi, 3-, 4- and 5-room flats from 7 to 14 storeys. The BTO flats here face either Northwest or Southeast, and Northeast or Southwest.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the upcoming Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions.
The following table lists the Period 9 Auspicious Homes. Do you live in any of these units?
Note that there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone. If in doubt, you may like to leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
This is especially if your unit is facing the less favourable directions such as Northeast or Southwest. Getting a reliable fengshui consultation can help you to clear doubts and ensure that your household thrive in the coming Period 9 .
Homeowners should also take note that if your unit faces your neighbour’s main door directly. From a fengshui viewpoint, such a layout may lead conflicting energies between both households to arise and affect harmony. As such, homeowners are recommended to place a grey arc-shaped carpet at your front door. Doing so can help you to neutralise negative energies and accumulate wealth.
Did you know?
Most, if not all of us, should probably have no doubt when it comes to understanding the destructive relationship between fire and water. In the world of fengshui, this is no exception.
As such, having a stove directly facing your water basin in the kitchen is considered detrimental to the fengshui of the household. This could adversely affect the health of your family, with the negative effects being the most prominent on the female owner.
This undesirable situation could be remedied during the renovation of your home, by relocating either the stove or the water basin. Should this be impractical, you could consider keeping a potted plant right beside the water basin. This will allow creative relationships between water, wood, and fire to be formed.
Homeowners should also be mindful that Period 9, which corresponds with the South, represents a strong Fire element. Therefore, locating important spaces within your premises is crucial. For example, it is best to make adjustments if your stove (also of fire element) is facing South, otherwise too much fire energy can cause instability and burnout for members in the household.
In fengshui, the stove represents “the female owner of the house”. As such, the state of the stove in your house represents the condition of your mother or wife. If your stove happens to face South, you are also highly recommended to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
Welcome Period 9 with good home fengshui
As with most things in life, getting it right from the start will save you lots of effort. More than just the correct placement of furniture or avoiding certain colours, home fengshui looks into compatibility amongst the homeowners and your living spaces.
Well-located to various amenities, Plantation Acres promises convenience in time to come. In terms of fengshui, it sits on a favourable fengshui land with several units facing an auspicious direction. For those whose units are not facing Northeast or Southwest, or if you are planning to rearrange your home layout to tap on the positive energies of Period 9, you may want to consult a fengshui master.
